IBM Application Delivery Intelligence for IBM Z V5.1.0.x

What's new

In IBM ADDI V5.1.0.8 release,  the code coverage analysis and performance analysis capabilities are moved off jazz and integrated into IBM ADDI Extension. For more information, see IBM ADDI Extension User Guide V5.1.0.8.

IBM ADI V5.1.0.7 includes only minor defect fixes and documentation updates.

Starting with IBM ADI V5.1.0.6, the business rule discovery and static analysis features are moved off Jazz and hence moved out of IBM ADI. Those features are now jazz-free and integrated into IBM ADDI as the IBM ADDI Extension component.

The following fixes were made to IBM ADI V5.1.0.5:

  • Defect fixes and improvements for all features
  • Documentation fixes to migration instructions
  • Accessibility and globalization fixes
 

The following fixes and stability improvements were made to IBM ADI V5.1.0.4:

  • Business Rule Discovery feature:
    • Fixes to enable saving multiple business terms that are associated with a snippet
    • User interface fixes for business term discovery details navigation
  • Code Coverage feature:
    • Refreshed Code Coverage headless data collection to fix for missing test ID
    • Defect fixes and improvements
  • APA/SMF feature:
    • Defect fixes and improvements
  • Other fixes:
    • Fixes to the startup issues with ADI server
    • Accessibility and globalization fixes
 
The following new features and enhancements are available in IBM ADI V5.1.0 and later.
  • Keyword discovery through the static analysis of data usages in application artifacts.
    IBM ADI provides a ranked list of keywords based on the usage analysis of the keywords within application artifacts such as source code. The usage information for analysis includes the usages in included files, usages in condition statements, usages in computation statements, file input/output usages, database input/output usages, and IBM MQ usages. With the usage information, you can quickly identify business terms and potential business rules from the keyword list and their usages.
  • Automated discovery of potential business terms from enterprise artifacts.
    Most of business terms and business rules are documented in enterprise artifacts as natural languages. ADI helps to expedite the business term discovery process by automatically discovering the potential business terms that use Natural Language Processing (NLP) method.
  • Team collaboration on managing the inventory of business terms and business rule packages.
    You can collaborate with your team members to build the inventory of business terms and business rule packages through the list of discovered keywords. While your team collaborates, business terms can be tracked and managed. You can identify the usages of business terms in the source code or enterprise artifacts and define them as snippets. The snippets typically contain business logic that is part of business rules. You can package business terms and snippets that are related based on their business logic as business rule packages.

In addition, ADI can leverage System Management Facility (SMF) and Application Performance Analyzer (APA) data to monitor and analyze the performance of applications.

For more information about the updates and fixed APARs of IBM ADI, see Fix List for IBM Application Delivery Intelligence for IBM Z.
